Indigenous Elder Shares Story About “Star People”

I don't find the story credible. What is the probability of a an alien civilization with the technology to travel many light-years in distance crashing a spacecraft on earth? That is just one problem.

How would the aliens communicate with a human? The evidence is all anecdotal and based on second hand hearsay.

Closed mind is what the global warming crowd demands.

I don't think you understand the scientific method. And I am not interested in your excuses.

That's a good question though and it's one of the more obvious flaws in Van Daniken's theory about the Nazca Lines. Why would such an advanced race need runways for their interstellar craft?

I happened to be re-watching Close Encounters of the Third Kind yesterday - just one of those movies that hasn't aged a bit - and there's a scene toward the end where a man with a beard, glasses and a pipe steps forward for a better look at the aliens. All the previous times I watched the film - beginning with the first time, in a theater, in 1977 - I just assumed that this character represented J. Allen Hyneck, the astronomer and UFO expert who created the system of "ranking" UFO encounters from which the film's title is taken. Just on a hunch I looked it up on IMDB and discovered that it actually WAS Hyneck, playing himself. Apparently Spielberg hired Hyneck as a adviser on the movie and gave him a cameo.

I don't see it as a weakness.

Never mind that, the scale of the Nazca Lines is the puzzle. If you have no ability to see the landscape from above.

That's right. Little known fact.
